As one of Australia’s leading veteran charities, Mates4Mates is committed to providing support services to veterans and families to help improve their mental, physical and social health.
Understanding the important role sport and movement plays when it comes to health and wellbeing, Mates4Mates incorporates this into its programs and activities to help those impacted by service.

Mates4Mates Chief Executive Officer, Emma Whitehead also welcomed the new charity partnership and the opportunities it will provide the local veterans and families who access our services.

“It’s wonderful to see the community impact the Dolphins NRL since they were established in 2023.”
“It’s through charity partnerships like this one that allows Mates4Mates to continue our work in supporting the health and wellbeing of veterans and family members in every way we can.”
